Golf in Scottsbluff

Scottsbluff in Scotts Bluff County is the Panhandle's largest city and commercial hub, a city of roughly 15,000 anchored by the extraordinary landscape of Scotts Bluff National Monument, which rises directly from the North Platte River valley. The monument was a critical landmark for Oregon Trail emigrants and remains one of Nebraska's most dramatic natural features. Two golf courses serve Scottsbluff: the private Scottsbluff Country Club and Riverview Golf and Country Club, both serving a city that functions as the regional center for western Nebraska healthcare, retail, and agriculture. The North Platte River valley's irrigated agriculture supports a sugar beet industry that has given Scottsbluff economic diversity uncommon in Great Plains cities of its size. The two golf courses serving Scottsbluff reflect a city that has invested in both private member and country club traditions appropriate to a genuine regional hub.
